SpeckleGSA version 11

We are pleased to announce the release of SpeckleGSA version 11. The version of SpeckleGSA works with GSA 10.0. The main improvement is a speed increase in receiving and sending models. There are also a number of bug fixes.

SpeckleGSA 11 is bundled in the SpeckleStructuralInstaller v0.14.

This release also contains the changes from SpeckleGSA 10.6:

• Allowing GSA file opening and logging into Speckle to be done in any order
• Better display of errors in processing
• Closing GSA instance doesn’t cause the application to crash anymore
• Cancellation of sending is now offered if results are selected but design layer is chosen, or if analysis layer is chosen with continuous sending
• Fixed bug (corresponding with change in the kit) which prevented some MiscResults to be sent
• Add layer of retry functionality around sending of data to the server

and SpeckleStructuralKit 1.0.24

• Added point distances to the Assembly class, allowing you to customise the points along the assembly for analysis
• Added StructuralStorey
• Added StructuralLoadPlane, for which either an axis or storey reference can be assigned and which maps to a grid surface in GSA
• Added Structural0DLoadPoint, which references a StructuralLoadPlane and maps to grid point loads in GSA
• Altered Structural1DLoadLine to reference a StructuralLoadPlane
• StructuralLoadPlanes can be shared between grid point and grid line loads, although not area loads (yet)
• Blank and invalid references to other objects now result in assigning the next free record number, rather than zero
• Small performance improvement by changing property getters whose values are stored in the Properties dictionary to reduce the exceptions thrown within
• Made result classes more consistent by ensuring they all have load case and description fields
• Fixed bug (corresponding with change in the app) which prevented some MiscResults to be sent
